Du Cafe' -- Nation needs an economy plan

Bob Dylan’s all along the watch tower, his one best, it’s a jocker thief talk.

Situation is hard to handle, jocker complains for relief, and for an equal just system. He thinks this present one is designed for elites, and it’s not equal words are worthless.

Thief nods to a more realistic fate. He thinks, it is already late home. Time to hurry for a system we need.  

The catch of the story is, sooner or later you will realize that you have erred. Turn is the call the cause no matter how long you will take but the way you are, it will be hard for you to carry on so you will change.

 Question is, have we timed it?

All governments have done their bit, good decisions bet ones are now past. We erred and we need to correct. For what and how are to decide and work on.

We are a rich fertile nation but we are not productive. We need national planning for marshalling our resources for one single goal, growth. Irony is Shahbaz Sharif has called a national consensus on this and Imran Khan called for change but polity is reluctant to sit together.

Produce in Pakistan for the world. Be productive and source global food supply.

For Baluchistan It will be a global honor to produce chunk of global agriculture need. The rich fertile land need systems, it can produce agricultural exports surpluses.

We have land and labor and crops. We need to behave and build, why import 3-billion-dollar cotton, when you have this much land and people. You need development, you need a common plan

Food security is a global issue, world is uniting against this threat, our agricultural landscape will earn us good global ranking if we tune it to day. A business association is breeding, Promote in Pakistan thought.

Friendly countries will help develop agriculture sectors and men power. An inclusive model of production and investment, Bai is our need, is need of our debt brewing financial system.

In their book “house of debt” two Pakistanis analyzed and they have understood that all financial crisis produced debt. There suggestion is to opt for a more equitable system.

Cotton is a six months crop. You need land, labor, capital and entrepreneur to produce. Production is investment, can we develop a system that can raised funding form stock market on profit and loss basis.

We need a system that can convert us into a world supplier, corporates and SMEs are important players. Women and Baluchistan are hopes. Baluch are resources rich people they need knowledge and support to grow. Distribution of wealth is important but distribution of wealth is even more important.

Dylan ends saying singing the wind began to howl.

Let’s device a national economic plan.

All along the watch tower
